UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

SAMUEL W. WILSON, OF NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO WILLIAM S. EARL AND GARDNER EARL, OF TROY, AND WASHINGTON WILSON, OF

NEW YORK, N. Y.

FOR DISPLAYING CUF FS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 222,559, dated December 9, 1879; application filed March 22, 187.).

Be it known that l, SAMUEL w wlt sou, of the city of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Boxes for the Packing and Displaying of Gentlemens or Ladies Cuffs, of

which the following is a specification.

The invention consists in a novel construction of box for containing cuffs, said box being composed of upper and lower parts, the upper part being cut away from the ends downward toward the center, as hereinafter described.

The advantages of a box of my improved construction are readily apparent, and require but brief mention. The goods packed in this manner are well displayed without removal from the box, thus saving frequent handling,

and this advantage will be appreciated by any person accustomed to selling this class of goods.

Figure 1 represents a front view of my improved box with the cover on; Fig. 2, the same without the cover; Fig. 3, the same without cover and containing cutt's. Similar letters of reference designate corresponding parts.

A represents the cover of the box, which is adapted to slip over the box, and is supported by the corners thereof; B,the outside shell of ,thelo-werpartof the box proper; O O, the inner shell or the wall of the box, which extends upward to the line at which the cover rests upon the same; D, cufls inclosed in the box.

For convenience I use a box with right-angled corners, but do not confine myself to this shape. Any other shape suitable for the purpose I consider as included in the invention. Likewise I have, for convenience, made the opening angular, or cut downwardly toward the center from the corners on both sides of this box, but consider the invention to cover an opening or cut-away part of any shape, and at either end or side, as may be desired. Likewise this box is made with a flush cover; but I consider my invention includes a box of which the side walls may be of uniform thickness, and in which case the cover would of necessity project beyond the sides.

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A box consisting of the lower part, B, and the upper part, 0, the said upper part being cut away from the ends downwardly toward the center, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

SAMUEL W. WILSON.
